Chapter 61 Throwing an olive branch
After Chen Xuanqi folded the note in his hand, he put it in his arms, signaled An Yunsheng not to panic with his eyes, and the two continued to walk towards the north gate.
There are law enforcement disciples guarding the north gate and inside and outside the city gate, and everyone who does not show the Changxiang City entry and exit token must be inspected by law enforcement disciples before entering and leaving the city, Chen Xuanqi looked around the city gate, and did not find anyone with strange whereabouts.
"Heavenly Tribulation, we're ready to leave the city, you continue to use your soul power to probe the surroundings to see if there are any others. Chen Xuanqi hurriedly walked forward with An Yunsheng.
The Heavenly Tribulation released his soul power, and it was extremely difficult for his soul power to recover, so he didn't dare to cover the range of his soul power too far, just with Chen Xuanqi and the two of them as the center, he carefully probed the monks existing in this area, and found that two familiar figures were hiding on the second floor of a teahouse close to the city gate.
"In a teahouse on your left, those two Wu family disciples of Yue Huazong are spying on you. ”
"Is it only the two of you? It seems that the other party should have divided the troops to fight, this gives us a chance to get out, let's go quickly. Chen Xuanqi was overjoyed and quickly quickened his pace.
The two came to the city gate, Chen Xuanqi took out his disciple token, and An Yunsheng took out the entry and exit token that he had handled when he first entered Changxiang City.
"Senior brother, the situation outside is turbulent now, you pay attention to safety. After the disciple in charge of the inspection saw Chen Xuanqi's disciple token, he also reminded him very kindly.
Chen Xuanqi also smiled slightly, did not speak, bowed, and dragged An Yunsheng towards Changxiang Wharf.
In the Lanxiangfang in the north of the city, Wu Jiang and Wu Xi saw Chen Xuanqi and An Yunsheng leaving the city, and immediately ran out from the second floor, and the two of them took the communication stone that talked to other innate monks, and explained the situation to the others.
"You two hurry up and follow, Zhou Da and I will be able to catch up soon. Duan Shang from the Duan family and the other worshipping Zhou Da also rushed to the north of the city at this time.
"The north of the city is quite special, you have to pay attention to their escape by water, the passenger ship at the pier will take about half an hour to depart, enough for us to catch up. Wu Huan had already calculated all the situations, but he didn't expect that their deployment had been reported by a force hiding in the shadows.
Chen Xuanqi walked on the trade road outside the city and asked, "How long will it take for us to go to Changyue City by boat?"
An Yunsheng thought for a while and said, "Changxiang City to Changyue City by water, because it is a countercurrent, it is estimated that it will take a month." ”
"In a month, if you take the land route, it should only take more than half a month, and you can rest more along the way. Chen Xuanqi didn't want to go all the way to Changyue City, but now he still chose to believe the message written on the note, and he vaguely guessed in his heart who was helping him.
The distance between Changxiang Wharf and the North City Gate is not very far, and due to the high flow of people at the wharf, a small town has gradually formed around the wharf, and many small stalls and vendors also make some livelihoods here.
After walking for about a stick of incense, the two saw a winding river, with several large merchant ships moored along the river, and some small passenger boats on the side that were specially used to ferry and pick up passengers, and some porters on the shore were responsible for picking up the goods carried by horse-drawn carriages one by one.
"I don't know if there are any merchant ships bound for Changyue City, but even if we get on the ship, it will be easy for the people of the Wu family to keep up. An Yunsheng looked at the big merchant ships with a sad face.
Chen Xuanqi looked at the porters and businessmen coming and going, and was at a loss, at this time, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder from behind, he hurriedly turned his head, and found a man with short hair and a short stature looking at him with a smile.
"Young Master Chen, come with me to help you get out of danger. ”
The man said this, and then walked to the shore of the dock by himself, Chen Xuanqi heard that what he said was exactly what was written on the note, glanced at An Yunsheng, and decided to follow.
The two followed behind the short man, An Yunsheng suddenly found something, leaned into Chen Xuanqi's ear, and whispered: "That man has a tiger head tattoo on his neck, which is a symbol of the Tiger Gang. ”
Chen Xuanqi also took a closer look, and sure enough, a part of the tattoo pattern of the tiger's head leaked out of the neck of the man in front of him, and he said: "My guess is right, it was Chen Hu who helped me in the dark, it seems that I still let some forces throw an olive branch to me this time." ”
"Chen Hu does know how to see the wind and steer the rudder, since he led the Tiger Gang, he has been tightly clinging to Yue Huazong's thigh, so he can be in Changxiang City, although the overall strength of his subordinates is not as good as the Wulu family, but with the relationship between the rivers and lakes, there are many strange people. An Yunsheng also has some understanding of the Tiger Gang.
Chen Xuanqi looked thoughtfully at the Tiger Gang leading the way in front of him, and said slowly: "Anyway, Chen Hu sent someone to help me this time, which can be regarded as a release of kindness to me, and I still have to receive this love." ”
The short man of the Tiger Gang took the two of them to the river, took out a space bag from his arms, took out an object, and he urged his spiritual power to throw it into the river, and a small boat with an attic appeared in the river.
"It's... Is this also a spiritual weapon?" Chen Xuanqi had only seen a flying spiritual weapon, and he didn't know that there was a spiritual weapon of this ship type.
The short man smiled and said: "Young Master Chen, this spirit boat is a mid-grade spiritual weapon in the Xuan Rank, and it is specially used by some young masters of the family to travel in the mountains and rivers. ”
Chen Xuanqi looked at this exquisite spirit boat, and also sighed in his heart that this Tiger Gang leader was also willing to use the spirit weapon of the middle grade of the Xuan Rank to win him over, he hugged his fists and said: "Gang Leader Chen has helped this time, I am very grateful, if Gang Leader Chen needs help in the future, Chen Xuanqi will not shirk it!"
"The gang leader said that the Tiger Gang still needs to rely on Yue Huazong in Changxiang City, and Young Master Chen's future in Yue Huazong is unlimited, so Young Master Chen only needs to remember the help of the Tiger Gang in the past. The short man said, "There is a stone platform in the small building of this spirit boat, and you only need to put the spirit stone on it to speed up the spirit boat." ”
Chen Xuanqi nodded and said, "I understand, I don't know what Brother Tai is called?"
The short man replied, "I'm Hu Manzi, the hall master of the Tiger Gang at Changxiang Wharf, without further ado, you should leave first, and I'm not suitable to stay here for too long." ”
Chen Xuanqi and An Yunsheng no longer rubbed and jumped directly onto the boat, Chen Xuanqi gave his hand again, and said: "Thank you again for Gang Leader Chen and Brother Hu, when I return to Changxiang City, I will personally find Gang Leader Chen to thank you." ”
"There will be a date later!"
"There will be a date later!"
After a brief farewell between the two parties, Chen Xuanqi walked into the small building and put a low-grade spirit stone into the stone platform that Hu Manzi said, only to see that the spiritual power in the spirit stone began to flow along the groove of the stone platform, and the spirit boat also began to move in the water.
"An Lao Dao, you are responsible for controlling the direction of the sail, I have a limited number of spirit stones, it is estimated that we need to find some places on the road to exchange for spirit stones. Chen Xuanqi shouted to An Yunsheng outside.
After An Yunsheng heard this, he immediately adjusted the direction of the sail, and after a while of twisting, the spirit boat finally adjusted its direction and slowly sailed in the direction of the countercurrent.
At this time, the two brothers of the Wu family, who were late on the dock, looked at Chen Xuanqi who was leaving on the spirit boat, and after a pause, he quickly took out the communication stone and said angrily: "Those two got a boat from nowhere, and they have already left the dock. ”
"What? You two hurry up at the docks to find someone to rent a boat, and we'll be there in no time. Duan Shang's voice came from the other end of the communication stone.
Wu Jiang and Wu Xi hurriedly ran to the dock, found the Tiger Gang who was in charge of water transportation, and said, "This brother, we want to rent a medium-sized spirit boat, I wonder if there is any free now?"
The gang member looked up at the two of them and said, "There is no medium-sized spirit boat, there is only a yellow-level spirit boat that can seat five people, do you need the two sons?"
Wu Jiang was hesitating, when suddenly a voice came from behind him, shouting, "We want it!"
The two looked back, Wu Huan and the others just arrived, the sentence just now was what Wu Huan shouted, he threw a small bag of spirit stones to the Tiger Gang, and said, "Give us the spirit boat immediately, here is the deposit." ”
The Tiger Gang opened the bag, counted the spirit stones in the bag, and after confirming that it was correct, he smiled and brought everyone to a small spirit boat, and said: "Thank you for renting it, this spirit boat can only carry a maximum of five people, if it is overloaded, it will capsize, you must be careful." ”
Wu Huan waved his hand, and the Tiger Gang gave him a meaningful look, and then left with a sense of humor.
Wu Huan and the others looked at the slender spirit boat, there were seven of them, which meant that if they wanted to catch up with Chen Xuanqi quickly, they could only have five people on this spirit boat.
Duan Shang looked around at the six people around him and said, "In this way, it will be up to me and Zhou Da and the three young masters of the Wu family together, and the other two will go back first." ”
"Yes, Senior Huang Li and Senior Kong An will go back to rest first, although there is an accident this time, the things I promised will also count. Wu Huan said to the people from the Huang family and the Kong family.
When Huang Li of the Huang family heard that he didn't need his own help, he was also relieved, the Wu family fought such a big battle this time just to deal with two people, and he knew that those two people should be difficult to deal with when he thought about it.
Kong An of the Kong family was also the same as Huang Li, and said: "Okay, then the two of us will leave first, I wish the eldest young master Wu a smooth operation this time, and successfully avenge the head of the Wu family and the second master Wu!"
After the two said goodbye to the others, Wu Huan looked at Chen Xuanqi and the boat they were sailing away from, took the lead in picking up the rented boat, and put a spirit stone on the bridge.
"Let's chase!"
